Called the “Greatest Photo In Racing”

One mile tracks are fast but half mile is where the action is.

Handlebars full lock, steer with the throttle and a Ken Maley “shoe”.

What don’t you see on the front?

The above pic of Rex Beauchamp at Louisville is touted as “The Greatest Photo in Racing” in a 1980 article by Joe Scalzo in Motorcyclist Magazine. Legend has it that it was taken by a corner worker with direction given by the credited photographer, Dan Mahony (Dan worked a camera further down the track).

Be seeing you

The “Shoe Man”
